I was just looking at my site statistics and out of my last 500 hits from search engines (my log only shows the last 500), 125 came from searches for “Burton protest,” or some permutation. Plus, another 22 came from searches for the names of the women who organized it.
That search currently tops [...]
I am actually going to say something positive about Barack Obama. I know, I didn’t think it would ever happen either.
I saw the following Obama ad on a blog and I really liked it.
No, not the part about expanding early childhood education. That gave me the shivers. The liberal idea that the [...]

SNL’s Lorne Michaels:
I think Palin will continue to be underestimated for a while. I watched the way she connected with people, and she’s powerful. Her politics aren’t my politics.

Yes, we do. And I have been painfully neglectful about covering it.
There just aren’t enough hours in the day, people.
In Burlington, for some unnatural reason, we have ballot questions next month. Haven’t these people heard of Town Meeting Day? How can we be expected to research ballot items when we are spending [...]
I have always considered myself a Republican, but I have something more important than party loyalty to consider. I have to think about my two bi-racial sons. They will be personally impacted by racial attitudes in this country, and by extension, so will I. A mother hurts when her sons are hurt.

So, tomorrow (Wednesday) is the last presidential debate. This one is supposed to be about domestic issues.
I think that McCain needs to focus on Obama’s tax plan. There is so much there that the media is giving him a free pass on.
